    1) Fred asks his father if he can use the car that night. Tom predicts their father will say no. 2) When Fred asks again, getting his father's attention, his father says no with two knocks as the agreed upon signal. 3) Fred protests that he wasn't finished asking yet as Tom smugly says "I told you so" about their father saying no. Their mother enters and overhears this exchange.

    DOT

    It's your deep voice. It doesn't carry.

    TOM

    It won't carry through that scratching you're making with that nail file.

    DOT

    At least I don't bite my nails... like some people do.

    TOM

    (imitating nail-file noise) Grrgh-grrgh-grrgh. I can't even do my homework.

    FRED

    Would you two cut it out? I'm trying to reach Dad. Dad?

    DAD

    Whew! Dad, may I use the car tonight?

    FRED

    Wait!! Don't hang up! I'm not finished.

    TOM

    I told you so.
